[Applicazione della fotografia alla microscopia]
This Italian photographic album from 1870, compiled by Vitale Tedeschi, documents early applications of photography to microscopy, likely for a scientific audience. The two plates are mounted sepia photographs: one shows a circular microscope field with faint cellular forms, the other a camera on a tripod in a panelled interior, and a designer could take their clinical, archival framing and soft tonal range as a reference for vintage scientific documentation.
